Protesters return to camp at Rossio this Tuesday

Protesters in Lisbon's Rossio square will resume camping after a judicial decision allowed a demonstrator to stay until November 24. The assembly voted overwhelmingly in favor of this action, which follows ongoing housing rights protests across Portugal. The court ruled that the usual curfew for protests is not absolute, permitting overnight stays. The Ministry of Internal Administration clarified that the ruling pertains to an individual case and does not grant blanket rights for tent installations. Recent police interventions have led to clashes and injuries during housing rights demonstrations, prompting inquiries from the President of Portugal regarding police conduct.
